Dear mom, I am writing a note i know you aren't reading. Its a literary form to carry my heart.
Today is a day we are supposed to remember our mothers. But it makes me sad that remembering is all i can do. Has it been eight years? You were the best mother i could ever ask for, you were amazing and such a gift and treasure in my life. But all the past tense verbs required to talk about you weigh on me and bring tears to my eyes; i will have to abbreviate this note. What I wanted to say is that i love you, i miss you, and i wish you were here.
Love till the other side, liz xx
